Let me start off by thanking our troops present and past. Without you we would not be celebrating our Independence or continuing to enjoy that freedom today. Bless you all for your sacrifice, selflessness and dedication. To those we lost, we salute you and remember you today! And to all of the families, thank you for your sacrifice. I KNOW firsthand it is not easy, but so worth it.
We had a wonderful holiday. After Liam's morning nap we headed out for a picnic (wish I had a photo of Kevin's gourmet sandwiches--so yummy!). Thanks to Kevin (who packed our picnic)... it was so yummy. We went to a park on the base (so beautiful) and enjoyed watching Liam play, explore and get dirty!
Running around, what he does best!
Exploring
More running
And running
still running! He runs circles around us!
Silly face
My loves, my life, my boys!
In the lighthouse with daddy
Watching other kids play (he's quite the observer, only time he slows down!).
Swinging
Hiding
Would NOT surprise me if he became a horticulturist one day. This kid LOVES plants, flowers, trees, birds... anything nature!
Squeezing to the other side
He/we were so EXHAUSTED. He climbed up in his chair and enjoyed his milk laying down. Liam says "look Grandma, I finally learned the rocking chair you got me is for SITTING, not standing or using as a ladder" Ha!
He followed this up with a 2 hour afternoon nap (he NEVER naps that long in the afternoon!). Mama didn't complain--she napped too!
After nap time Dada fixed us up a YUMMY bbq dinner, which we enjoyed outside. It's been a BEAUTIFUL weekend here... NO 40mph winds for once. Ha!

It was a wonderful 4th of July weekend. We explored beaches, parks and even our own backyard! It was actually nice not to travel (no laundry/luggage to unpack tonight and on in till tomorrow). Don't get me wrong, we did miss our family in Hanford, but it was so nice to just have a calm weekend, just the 3 of us, especially considering the circumstances and the fact that we ALWAYS travel when Kevin has three or four day weekends. We sure hope your weekend was just as fun and blessed!

A-Va (Grandma) is going to have to get you the little recliner from Grandma's house, over to your house as you make relaxing look like fun and that little wooden rocker looks hard as a rock?
Liam, when Momma and Daddy send me pictures of you in the great outdoors you remind me of (Steve Irwin). He was a famous Crocodile Hunter and protecter of all animals large and small. You really enjoy nature and animals too huh?
Well you are one special little man, that's for sure.
Missed you this 4th of July TREMENDOUSLY.
